Celebrating CTE Month!
One of the ways Minnesota’s CTSOs celebrate CTE Month is the collaborative annual event: CTSO Day at the Capitol. As the best ambassadors of career and technical education, our student leaders met with their State Representatives and Senators to discuss the impact career and technical student organizations have had on their education and career path.
This day isn’t possible without a lot of help- a big thank you to our MFSO Board Members, CTSO Executive Directors, CTE Educators and Administrators that make this day possible.
Education in the NEWS
SmartBrief
Today, CTE offers a whole world of opportunity, combining the ever-changing demands of today’s top industries with the knowledge gained from classroom and on-the-ground training.
Many of us have been trained in physical first aid, like CPR or basic lifesaving courses. But too few of us would know how to respond if we saw someone having a panic attack or were concerned that a friend or co-worker might be showing signs of substance abuse or at risk of suicide.

Karl Ohrn has accepted the position of System Director for Career and Technical Education (CTE) with Minnesota State, effective December 7, 2022. In this capacity, he will also serve as the Director of Career and Technical Education for the state of Minnesota.
